Trustees Annual Report 2024/ 2025

At the beginning of the year we bought 3 Vegepod raised planters with part of the PBIP funding that we received in 2023. In the early part of the year we grew salad vegetables with some of the local children, and a local nursery were using one for their children. we then grew beetroot, carrots & cabbage.

At Easter we had a fun day giving free eggs to the children. We also played lots of games as well as painting eggs and making Easter bonnets.

In the main garden vegetable patch we grew potatoes all year. We also grew Onions & turnip. It was a good year with the produce that we got.

We got a Pergola installed in May, which was also part of the PBIP funding.

This is a great asset as the roof closes when it is wet and there is 3 drop down sides. This is great when outside groups are using the garden and the weather isn’t great and for when we are doing wellbeing days.

East Ayrshire council gave us funding to get a new shed for the garden, which is much bigger than our existing shed, and enables us to store all our craft materials and children’s games as well as all the garden tools.

In November we got playground paints done with hopscotch, an adventure trail that instructs hopping, jumping, running etcetera, and a target game, which you throw beanbags from various distances into numbered areas on the target. This was also part of our PBIP Funding.

We now also have the Cut and Connect bus coming to the garden every 6 weeks. They spend the whole day there giving free haircuts to those who want a haircut. This is a fantastic service and is always fully booked.

We have funding for a water connection to the garden and one of East Ayrshire councils representatives is liaising with Scottish water on our behalf

Regular expenditure has been for our electricity and portable toilet hire.

We hope that this year will be another year of growth and, working with the local community, and trying to help with their needs.

Respective
responsibilities of
trustees and examiner		 The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the
Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees
consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations
does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section
44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent
examiner’s statement		 My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts
Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the
charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks
explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken
do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do
not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts.
Independent examiner’s
statement		 In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
1.
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements:
•
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and
Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
•
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met, or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
